View Full Version : Highly illegal pirate mafia contraband auction

Our very good friend Edmundo Sentrico recently went on a ... "business" trip to Puerto Rico.

He brought back a package

The package contained a bottle of very rare and primo liquor.

He delivered it with this message:

"Tell da boys dat if dey wants dis bottle, dey gonna hafta fight ovah it"

We have for auction, to those old enough to imbibe (that means 21 here in Michigan), one very fine, unopened, unadulterated bottle of Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star Rum. This rum, trust me on this, is suave. It is smooth.

The rule is: The winner cannot - MUST NOT mix this rum with anything! This is too nice (and expensive) for that! This is a sipping drink. You are only allowed to drink this straight up, from the freezer, or on the rocks. THAT'S IT. No Rum n' cokes! The Captain is for that! :tongue:

Dem's da rules. Sorry, boss.

At any rate, we're gonna start the bidding at $20 and go up from there in $5 increments. The entire proceeds go to the SMx Fund.

The auction winner will be able to pick this bottle up at SM LAN 2007, and as such is only open to attendees. I cannot and will not attempt to ship this bottle. You have to pick it up at my house! Whether or not you decide to drink it at my house is a whole different story :p

This is probably against some laws, so please keep this a private matter. Don't post about it in the public forums, either. If you'd like to thank Edcentric personally for supplying this bottle (which, it's true, he did hand deliver to me from Puerto Rico), be sure to PM him. :)

Or here's what's gonna happen: Fatcat and I are gonna drink the whole damn bottle before everyone else shows up, and then:

1) He won't need to bid on the auction bottle
2) Nobody else will get any samples :p

It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

What is important is to keep the bidding going.

I think I have a partial bottle of JD that's moved with us a few times in the last 5 years. It's not mine -- I don't drink alcohol. Well, possession being 9/10's of the law, I guess it is mine. ;)
